I want non-logged in users to be able to read the forum but not post to it.

I want them to become members to post to the forum. I am using buddypress and paid membership pro.

Does it default to this, or do I have to set this up? How?

Thanks.

[Jason]

I added a new user, but cannot change their role in the list of users. I check the box on the left of their username, then go to the top dropdown “Change forum role to…” and change it, but there is no effect. The only way I can change the role is to edit their profile individually, rather than using the Bulk method. I am going to be importing 160 users and cannot find a way to pre-populate the Forum Role field, so I’d like to save time by being able to change Forum Roles in bulk by putting a checkmark next to each user and performing the change all at once.

I am using the default Twenty Sixteen WordPress theme in use while testing this plugin.

Does anyone know about this limitation or bug?

[contemplate]

Hi All. Needed this exact behavior as well. It really should be the default behavior. But if you don’t want to hack the core here is the code to place in your functions.php or custom plugin:

/**
 * Format the BuddyBar/Toolbar notifications
 * Fixed: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/
 */
function bbp_format_buddypress_notifications_custom( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $item_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $item_id );
		$title_attr  = __( 'Topic Replies', 'bbpress' );

		if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
			$text   = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new replies', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items );
			$filter = 'bbp_multiple_new_subscription_notification';

				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %s',             'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title );

			$filter = 'bbp_single_new_subscription_notification';
		}

		// WordPress Toolbar
		if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $topic_link ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title_attr ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_link );

		} else {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, array(

One other little thing though. I notice that the reply form appears below all sub-replies of a reply, instead of directly beneath the intended reply.

I think the reply.js code and possible other areas for threaded replies code can be improved to fix this. No idea how right now.

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents).

I think this is another known issue. One of these tickets need to possible be reopened and include a patch for this issue.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2700

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2646

[Jon Fergus]

Damn, another issue has come up. On my main site I’ve added the “Visual” tab to the reply form, using the following code in my functions.php file:

/* add visual editor to bbpress replies */ 
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents). I reproduced the issue on my staging site for you to see:

http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

I’m also using the “TinyMCE Advanced” plugin, but can verify that the issue with the Visual tab is independent of that plugin.

If you have already deac­ti­ved all plugins except bbPress and swit­ched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dash­board):
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Ano­ny­mous post­ing’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– Deac­ti­vate the bbPress plugin, then reac­tive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap exis­ting users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymas­ter role would disap­pear from one account)

Pascal.

Just changed my site to a twenty sixteen child theme, still see no problem.

Yeah, that’s what I want. But I’m completely lost now. No idea why this doesn’t work for me.

Are you sure there’s nothing else I need to do? Just copy the reply.js file into a folder called js under my child theme? And that’s it? I can’t understand why it wouldn’t work even when I created a brand-new subdomain, and did no other modifications: just installed wordpress, added bbpress, created bare child theme and added reply.js. What else could be interfering with this function!?

Yeah that’s it. I am lost how you are getting issues for this still. There shouldn’t be an issue with this and default themes.

Only issue I have ever come across regarding issues with threaded replies is while using the Divi theme, some custom scripts in the theme has issues with it for some reason.

I also tested a topic without a forum like what you have on your test site for the heck of it, and I still have not run into issues.

Here is my custom twenty sixteen child theme that you can use and test yourself.

[james8181]

ahha! Yep, that is what was causing the problem. I tried de-activating it and the error stopped. Is this plugin not compatible then? It’s a shame as it makes the UI look a lot nicer on my site. In fact with the default settings it is not really usable due to white text on white background.

Any other plugin to change the ui you could recommend? Thanks for your help, rookie error on my part not trying to disable this before posting.

[joannaleng]

Hi,

I am also having the same issue. Have been sitting here for 4 hours trying to fixed it.

i have tried:
disabling all plugins
change to default wordpress themes and other themes

still does not work.

forum is here:
http://www.joannalwleng.com/singleparentworkingmum/your-voice/

but topic can be foind here:
http://www.joannalwleng.com/singleparentworkingmum/forum/

i am running on multisite but bbpress and buddypress are sitewide forum, no groups and only activated on sub-site.

[Robkk]

Huh, this works for me on my end fine. Maybe it doesn’t work on all themes?

I guess you can confirm that you did download the gist file I linked to and added that to your child themes js folder.

If you have ever set up a localhost test server on your cpu like WAMP, you can try what I said above in a default theme to see if there is another possible issue.

[Jon Fergus]

Correction from the above: after enabling the unfiltered_html capability for a specific user, that user posted a reply, and the reply was set as “spam” by default. So… looks like all I need is to know how to make those replies not be identified as spam. Any ideas?

[Venutius]

There is an issue with the forum sorter view (Dashboard>Forums) where once you have more than 20 forums you can no longer move forums from page 2 to page 1, meaning that you can no longer effectively sort the display order of all of your forums. I think the solution to this should be pretty simple, you just need to be able to change the number of forums displayed on the page from the current default of 20 to higher numbers.

Please can you make this change?

[gratefulweb]

This is a super old thread, but I thought I’d post a solution that I used to get by the issue of having to choose a parent forum, when creating a new forum, on the front end of the site.

In my case I just need to default to “NO PARENT” and will never want a user choosing a parent forum when creating a forum. So…

First, put a copy of “form-forum.php” into your child theme (childtheme/bbpress/form-forum.php).

Within form-forum.php, scroll down to the Parent Form label, which has an id of “bbp_forum_parent_id”.

You can comment out then entire bbp_dropdown function and then add an html input field with same name, id and a value of -1.

<input type=”hidden” name=”bbp_forum_parent_id” id=”bbp_forum_parent_id” value=”-1″>

The key part being the value of “-1”

Hope that helps someone!

[jmock]

Hey folks,

I’m trying to move our forums from a multisite sub-site to the main site of the multisite install and am running into problems. Here’s what’s happening:

I’m able to export the forums, topics, and replies from the sub-site admin and import them into the main site using WP-CLI without any problems. After the import, if I look at Forums in the admin, everything is there and the counts for the topics and replies are correct, but when I run the repair tools, the topic and reply counts are set to 0, and none of the topics show that they’re in any forum and the topics also show 0 replies.

One thing that could possibly be causing some issues is that running “Recalculate the position of each reply” times out every time I run it. Also, since we have 450,000+ total users and ~13,000 forum users, the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” tool times out as well. I’m attempting to get around that by running a script that takes the user IDs of the 13,000 forum users and adds the bbp_participant role to them with WP-CLI in an attempt to get around the timeout.

Does anyone have ideas as to why the issue with the counts and topics would be happening? Is there a way for me to run the commands the tools page runs on the command line (whether via mysql or WP-CLI or whatever)?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

– Jim

Hey there

we’ve WordPress site for which we’ve setup BBpress for forum section. Forum section topic threads are not included in the default search. can you please let me know how we can make the changes so we can also have BBpress forum topics as a search result on our site?
http://cathlab.com/

Thanks in advance.

[23kulpamens]

On my wp-admin/users.php page post count column always shows “0”, depite that users have many answers. It is visible on their frontend profile page, but in admin panel post count is always 0.

I’ve tried to recalculate count using “Tools” menu, but nothing changed. Is this default behviour?

Hi @senatorman , I think you’ve replied in the wrong topic (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-alpha-problem-importing-phpbb/page/2/#post-178123).

Just to follow up on your error: I’ve copied and pasted my queries from a Ms Word document and something got broken.
In fact you look at the single quotes in the queries they are all wrong (’ instead of ‘).

@deeve007 – it’s doable, but you’ll need to do some coding.

The key file you want is

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

you’ll see the tabs in this file.

Do come back with what you are trying to do if you need further help

[giobby]

I try to post here the steps I did to import from PHPBB to BuddyPress v2.6 alpha.
The concept is the same of what you’ve already read in my previous post but I think the SQL scripts are different.

So first of all I’ve created manually all the missing columns in my PHPBB tables (I was converting from an old version of PHPBB and the converter was expecting some columns that didn’t exist – this could not be your case):

ALTER TABLE forum_forums
ADD forum_posts_approved numeric;

ALTER TABLE forum_forums
ADD forum_topics_approved numeric;

ALTER TABLE forum_topics
ADD topic_posts_approved numeric;

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_facebook varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_twitter varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_occupation varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_interests varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_location varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_youtube varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_skype varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_googleplus varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_website varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_aol varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_yahoo varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_icq varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE forum_profile_fields_data
ADD pf_phpbb_wlm varchar(255);

Then I’ve performed this KEY STEP: insert a dummy row in the WP_USERS table with a very high userid (e.g.: 99999). This should be higher than the highest userid you have in your phpbb installation.
In this way, when the users get converted, the system will assigned IDs starting from 100000 (again, if you have more than 100K users, then you need a higher value).
This step is necessary, so you will always be able to distinguish the old id (PHPBB, < 100000) from the new one assigned after conversion (>= 100000).

After that I’ve started the conversion (it took long).
After converting, the authors of certain posts were wrong.
There is a table that is generated after the conversion that maps the old IDs to the new ones.
So I’ve execute the following scripts to readjust (cannot guarantee this would fix entirely the problem):

/* Get all posts with wrong author and correspondent right author from translator table */

create table TMP_ORPHANS as
select
<YOUR_SCHEMA>.wp_posts.ID,
<YOUR_SCHEMA>.wp_posts.post_author,
<YOUR_SCHEMA>.wp_bbp_converter_translator.value_id real_author,

Hi if you’re still around would like to know how you changed Freshness to Last Post?

bbPress 2.6 will no longer use “Freshness”, the default is now “Last Post”

[Robin W]

less shouty with the title, and a little bit of patience would be great !

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Ansif]

Hi,

Anyone, can you please let me know : How can i able to modify listing options in default bbpress templates?

I want to edit listing options in : bbpress/loop-topics.php

I referred this forum : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-list-of-topics-under-specific-forum/

But, not helped well.

Thanks! 🙂

[Doug Smith]

@robkk, That would be to allow additional tags, right?

In this case it looks like tags are getting into the content that already are not allowed by default. The screen shot shows a span tag, which is not included in the bbPress allowed list in bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php.

I have also seen this happen with TinyMCE activated. It seems to be iOS users and they claim that they haven’t pasted anything, but I have not observed this for myself yet.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, email sending issues are almost never an issue of bbPress, so I doubt there is anything to fix on the bbPress side.

First things to note:

• Spam filters tend to put emails into spam if your site is e.g. ‘www.example.com’ but you have defi­ned your admin email (Settings > Gene­ral) as ‘admin@g­mail.com’
• By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if some­body else replies on your subscri­bed topics

Make sure you are subscri­bed:

• To receive the email for new topics, make sure you are subscri­bed to the forum

• Use tools like bbP Manage Subs­crip­tions to check and fix indi­vi­duals or run Topic Subs­cribe to fix in one go.

Check that WordP­ress emails are working:

• Make sure to check your spam/junk email
• Do you correctly receive emails when new posts are publi­shed or any other emails from the site ? If not, try any plugin to check emails (https://word­press.org/plugins/check-email/)

bbPress v2.5.x email sending:

In its current version, bbPress is sending out 1 message for every user subscribe to a forum or topic. This could be seen as spam­ming

If all the above is fine, then it might be another plugin or a theme issue:

• Deac­ti­vate all plugins except bbPress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
• If deac­ti­va­ting the plugins did not solve, as a test switch to a default theme such as twen­ty­fif­teen, and see if this fixes.
